As Is - Van Halen

Yesterday I was a bum and broke.

Today I am a star and broke.

In this town that’s called progress,

that’s how we do biz.

I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor.

Rich was better, totally better.

(It) requires a degree of acceptance

as in: «must accept as is.»

Drive my search engine home.

Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome.

Hey what the hell it runs, so…

the day is dunzo

let’s have some funzo.

Your’s very truly,

-As Is.

That’s how it goes…

How expensive he was

or what was he worth?

Ain’t no Brinks truck

following no hearse.

Drive my search engine home.

Droppe, chopped, Alabama chrome.

Hey what the hell it runs, so…

the day is dunzo

let’s have some funzo.

Your’s very truly,

-As Is.

This next part should really confuse things.

Everybody let’s stay focused.

Love of the craft

or love of the buck?

Every day down here’s a rainy day.

We don’t save up.

A little more volume in the headphones please…

Unspoiled by progress,

«As Is"is how I follow through.

It’s not who you squeeze

but who returns once again to squeeze you no doubt!

Love 'em all I says.

Let Cupid sort 'em out!

Drive my search engine home.

Dropped, chopped, Alabama chrome.

Hey what the hell it runs, so…

the day is dunzo

let’s have some funzo.

Your’s very truly,

-As Is.

Love of the craft

or love of the buck?

Every day down here’s a rainy day

We don’t save up.
